Tamia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hopin' that you would call me
My eyes, my eyes are tired from us sittin' up and just talking, all night
My supervisor noticed im kind of slow for today
My girlfriends also noticed I'm joyful
What can I say
It only been two months but
I'm prayin' that your the one
Please baby be
Keep replaying your kisses
Can't get them out of my mind
I try
My work is piling up and
Who'd guess that I'd get behind
But that's fine
Its only 12:07
I take my first break at two
It seems I have a message
I hope to god that its you
It only been two months but
I'm prayin' that your the one
Please baby be the one
Please baby be
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no,
No, no, no, no
No- no
Its 2:15 I'm smiling
I hear your voice on the phone
Oh my,
Tell me you wanna see me
Can't wait until I get home, tonight
My mind says slow it down girl
This thing right here is so new
But my heart says keep it movin'
Two thoughts but I'm not confused
It only been two months but
I'm prayin' that your the one
Please baby be the one
Please baby be
